Chapter 584: Unexpected

Not a single person in the crowd flocked around Huang Chengjing agreed to his sentiment.

“Mr. Huang, which stone are you planning to open first?” While some were looking forward to seeing just how much money Huang Chengjing was going to lose.

The purchase of more than a dozen raw stones cost at least tens of millions.

If none lived up to their potential, Golden Phoenix Jewellers would have the honor of being the first company in the industry to file for bankruptcy right as they opened their doors for business.

Moreover, with the reckless behavior of its boss, many would question Golden Phoenix’s credibility and professionalism.

“I won’t be opening them here, I have some appointments to make in a while. I will get them opened back at the company when I have some free time.” Huang Chengjing did promise Jiang Yao he would not open the stones. As for the contest, it was considered a forfeit.

The crowd expressed regret at Huang Chengjing’s reply.

Although, they were more interested in how much money he would lose after making a series of crazy purchases.

At the same time, they thought to themselves that it was important to teach their children not to get involved with deranged young girls who had no idea what was going on.

Huang Chengjing made a phone call and arranged for the stones to be transported back to Golden Phoenix’s warehouse. He did not stay any longer in the trade fair and left with Jiang Yao as he was anxious to open some of the purchased stones.

As they both arrived at the fair separately, they split up after exiting the courtyard. Jiang Yao went to see Wu Zhong in the hospital while Huang Chengjing headed back to his company.

Huang Chengjing’s a.s.sistant was on the wheels of his car. He saw Huang Chengjing sitting in the rear seat with a solemn expression and asked, “Are you nervous, Mr. Huang?”

“Slightly.” Huang Chengjing was frank with his a.s.sistant. He nodded and said, “There’s this lingering feeling of nervousness after I left the fair.”

“You surprised us, Mr. Huang.” The a.s.sistant smiled. “Even I was startled. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought you were seduced by Ms. Jiang.”

He knew about Huang Chengjing’s relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Yao and was aware of his boss’ crush on Ms. Jiang’s sister-in-law.

However, he did not think that Huang Chengjing was trying to go after Lu Yuqing by getting on Jiang Yao’s good side. After all, he was a very rational person.

Ever since they got to know each other, this was perhaps the most impulsive thing the a.s.sistant had seen Huang Chengjing do in his life.

“I don’t know why, but I believed Jiang Yao back then. Even though I am feeling nervous now, I have no regrets.” Huang Chengjing grinned. The Huang family was financially stronger than most people thought.

At the age where he should have been calm and rational, it was quite satisfying to be able to take huge risks and go all-out.

After all, it was quite interesting when it happened, was it not?

Then again, Huang Chengjing thought, at least a few good stones would come from his purchase. With the number of stones he bought, it was impossible not to attain at least one high-value stone.

It would be amusing if his luck was that bad.

While Jiang Yao was driving, Moe jumped out from her backpack onto the pa.s.senger seat. He found a comfortable spot to lie on and wagged his tail. “So, when are you buying me the new toy?”
